Napier Private Tours

The sunny city of Napier is located on the east coast of New Zealand's North Island and offers visitors a pleasant place to enjoy wine, the coastal landscape and a unique collection of Art Deco architecture. Take a private Napier tour with a local guide to soak in the beauty of this charismatic city.

Your guide will be happy to show you around Napier by foot, by car or by bike. A cycle tour along the Rotary pathway will bring you to Bluff Hill lookout and along the coast to the beautiful Bay View. Be sure to explore the historic Ahuriri neighbourhood, with its lively concentration of cafes, shops and galleries. The Hawkes Bay Museum has an impressive Maori art collection and plays a striking video of New Zealand's worst natural disaster, the 1931 earthquake that demolished much of Napier.

Your guide is keen to customize a private Napier tour that reflects your unique interests in this lovely seaside town.

Tour Guide Legal Requirements

In New Zealand there is no requirement for a guide to have a license to give tours.

However, if the tour guide is also the driver, then they are required to hold a Passenger Service License and have a Private Hire Registration.

The driver must hold a Passenger Endorsement and must also complete a log book, and must record all work time. Drivers must not exceed the allowable work time.

The vehicle must hold a Certificate of fitness (CoF)

Some rental vehicles are not suitable as Passenger Service vehicles due to the narrow aisle space, seating arrangements and lack of cargo barriers. Most rental company contracts forbid the vehicle being used in a passenger service. report error
